Web based prompt on HP ProCurve switch

Hi,
There is one feature I added recently but not documented that should help but it will only works in external mode. This is the macro typing. It's in the event tab. So you could write something like this:

{Delay}$USER_NAME${Tab}$PASSWORD${Enter}

I'm planing to add another feature that might help for this problem. Can you try to change your url for something like this with the username and password:

http://username:password@yoururl.com

Hehe, I had tried using the "http://username:password@yoururl.com" but it didn't work, because I made a spelling mistake ;)
When the string was entered correctly it worked. So far so good.
I sh**it you not, now I'm prompted with a Java popup for the same username and password. Is there any way to get this input made from RDM's side(if not automatically, then a button to press so it is auto-filled into the Java prompt)? :)

Thank you for your time David, as usual ;)

Hi,
Sure I could add a button to execute the macro.

Sorry for the late reply, had to work around the clock and then some... all inside RDM ;)

Back to subject:
That would be awesome David :)
As I don't have understanding how the macro function works, I'll just try asking.
Maybe the macro could be used in other circumstances. For example, when one opens a url to a Cisco firewall and chooses to run ADSM, it to emits a prompt(I believe this is java too). Could your macro be used in this example too? Then the macro function could be used by many RDM users and under many other devices witch omit java prompts for username/password. Taking it even further, if the macro could accept a pre-entered username/password or windows credentials(currently logged in user) or even the saved credentials from inside RDM. Just thinking out loud here...
Then the macro would have a even more universal usage for all RDM Enterprise users to enjoy.

Whatever you can come up with, I'll be happy.

Thanks a bunch and have great weekend ;)

Hi,
I added a button to execute the macro in embedded mode, I hope this will help. It will be in the next minor update.

Sounds great, will test as soon as you make it available.

Is this implementet yet?
If it is, how do I use it

Hi,
Yes it's implemented and it's called Macro Typing. We use the Microsoft SendKey for that:

You can also use the {Delay} command to add a 300 ms delay
You will find in the Event tab page.
